2 . (

One of the curved lines ()
which inclose a parenthetic word or phrase .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Parenthesis ,
in technical grammar ,
is that part of a sentence which is inclosed within the recognized sign ;
but many phrases and sentences which are punctuated by commas are logically parenthetical .
In def .
1 ,
the phrase "
by way of comment or explanation "
is inserted for explanation ,
and the sentence would be grammatically complete without it .
The present tendency is to avoid using the distinctive marks ,
except when confusion would arise from a less conspicuous separation .
